It’s that time of the year again when we start checking the store circulars for the best deals on holiday gifts for our friends, family and co-workers. This year you can shop with a purpose by shopping with Prevent Cancer Foundation Shop for Prevention friends and partners that have agreed to designate a portion of the proceeds from the sale of their items to benefit Foundation’s cancer prevention research, education and community outreach programs.

Ann Kulze, M.D., renowned authority on nutrition, healthy living and disease prevention, motivational speaker and Prevent Cancer Foundation board member, has partnered with the Foundation to bring you two “must have” items for the holiday season.

Eat Right for Life, is a blueprint for healthy eating and the perfect gift to start the New Year. Scientifically based and spelled out in a way that is easy to understand and easy to follow, “Dr. Ann’s” strategies will help you feel great for good – and stay well for life. For every copy of Eat Right for Life purchased $2.00 will be donated to the Foundation. Just remember to enter coupon code PCF511X3.

Custom trail mix company My Mixed Nuts and Dr. Ann have collaborated with the Foundation to create the Prevent Cancer Foundation Trail Mix, a healthy and delicious snack anytime of the year and the perfect gift or stocking stuffer this holiday season. For each bag of Prevent Cancer Foundation Trail Mix sold, $1.00 will be donated in support of the Foundation’s programs for the underserved.

Still surfing the net for the perfect gift? Use search engines GoodSearch and GoodBuy that let you shop and support the Prevent Cancer Foundation. Just remember to designate the Foundation as your charity of choice.

The Prevent Cancer Foundation has also partnered with eBay Giving Works so you can shop or sell to support the Foundation through eBay. Remember to designate the Prevent Cancer Foundation as your charity of choice and a percentage of the sale will support the Foundation.
